5.5 – For Last Week’s MM:
“The happiest people are not the ones with the most options, but the ones who are most satisfied with their choices.”
It’s interesting that satisfaction can beget happiness. I remember what that was like. Currently, the best I can get with that is “contentment.” I suppose that’s more positive than not.
“What choices did you make that you keep questioning? How can you make peace with them?”
At one point, I spiraled after not being answered by The Boyfriend for a time. I chose to soothe myself and allow him the space he seemed to need in that moment. I made peace with the fact that sometimes, I will just have to continue to be strong and fight for myself. He ended up coming to me later for hugs and kisses.
“Stop questioning a past choice and focus instead on one you have no doubts about.”
This one is both difficult and easy, depending on the choice made. I tend to make a solid attempt to live without “regret” – and see it as an anchor to the past. This does not mean I am without remorse, mind you (two separate things, imho). But I recognize that the choices I’ve made in my life are things that I can’t change, so why dwell on them and/or regret them? And sure, I do wish sometimes that I had the knowledge I have now back then, but again… such is the past. All I can do now is make BETTER choices with the knowledge and experiences I have gained in my 43 years. 😅
